How long before transplanting her?

Hello growmies! How long should I leave this little GG4 in this small container before transplanting her into a larger pot? Thanks much!

Also, will it be ok to go straight into the 7 gallon fabric pot ( she’s a feminized photo, not an auto) or into something smaller first, then into her 7 gallon home?

It’s time to transplant her now. 7 gal bags should be fine. Roots will grow through that peat pot. Just drop the pot as it is in the soil in the bigger pot and bury her up to her neck.

I agree with @MidwestGuy , she’s ready for her forever home once she’s dries out a bit.

The general rule of thumb is to transplant when the leaves grow beyond the sides of the pot.
Afghans are 11 days. I like to have solid root mass so I’ll give them a few more days. They will be going into 1 gallon transplanters.

Agree with everyone. A general rule that I usually follow, is that if the leaves reach the edges of the planter, she can be transplanted.

Thanks everyone! I learned something new. Leaves reach the edge, it’s time to transplant. I’ll always remember that. Thanks again!
